                      My Brother.   I remember pulling him around in the red wagon in Sherwood, Ohio. He was my greatest joy.   I always wanted him to be my best friend. But that was not meant to be.   I still love my brother deeply, but there is resentment now, on both sides.                   I remember our days in Ohio. We went everywhere together.   I was always protective of him.   I wanted him to be happy. I even remember one time we filled an empty 2-liter bottle with water and packed some bologna.   We walked together down to the train yard.   There was a small wooden overlook that we got up on. I don’t think anyone knew we went there.   It was a special memory to me. All of the Ohio memories were good, until the Divorce.                 When the divorce happened, we split from our Dad and our Mom’s boyfriend stepped in quickly. I knew in my heart that things were not good.   We stayed with Dad for awhile until we would move to Arizona.   I was so confused and full of anger
